BREWERIES AND TAPROOMS
Bottoms up! Hutchinson’s evolving culinary scene now includes two local craft breweries
full of unique and homegrown flavors. Find something special at Sandhills Brewing, a
small microbrewery and tasting room. Known for their oak-fermented and specialty beers,
this microbrewery is always experimenting to come up with something new! Inspired by
the salt mines and mineral-rich oil fields of Kansas, Salt City Brewing is another local favorite.
Here brew masters work hard to create beers that showcase the elements of great
taste. In addition to their four flagship beers, they are constantly creating and serving new
concoctions in their taproom!
